Flavorful Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I reinvented these Chicken Lettuce Wraps that I found in Southern Living Magazine, with my own little twist by using Spinach, Mushrooms, Onions and Red Bell Peppers as my veggies with ground chicken. I added 2 TB of Teriyaki Sauce, 3 TB of Hoison, 1 TB of Creamy Peanut Butter, 1tsp Chili Sesame Oil, 1 TB ginger/garlic paste. I loved my version way better! The Magazine version is really sweet, too sweet for me. Definitely remaking my take on this again.

If you want to try the Magazine version of Lettuce wraps- see pic below, they came out really sweet tasting and I had to add 1/2 cup of water at the end of the recipe to tone it down a bit. Found this recipe in Southern Living. Really tasty and good way to cut the carbs out of your diet! 🙂
